H.M. Gautsch Poems

Kraft Mac & Cheese,

Made my own special ways.
...

If I were a pirate,
How would I live?
First and foremost,
I'd act as if,
...

Everyone knows, everybody is aware,
But still we look away as if we don't care.
The result makes the world impaired.
...

Hip-hop and the city life are some of my favorite sounds,
But I still have those days
Where I want to just cruise the back roads and drown it out.
I'm going to crank up the country music.
...

Try to imagine a World so different,
Whereas, the minority was filled with Caucasians.
Or better yet, America never won their Revolution.
Now that's an idea put into a deep thought.
...

The cool breeze,
Enhances this new feeling,
In my soul.
...

What a surprise,

what a vision.
...

Day to day, I keep questioning myself...
How do I express my feelings without offending you?
I guess you should have thought twice,
Before you put me through what you put me through.
...

Say anything you want,
Not even sticks and stones can slow me down.
I'll keep moving forward,
Even with broken bones.
...

I stand in front of you on this stage with a smiling mask.
But give me a minute or two to unmask and ask,
What do you really know about post-traumatic stress?
...
